How do I set the font-size to 0.9em?

The task says: "Select the unordered list with the class contact-info and set the font size to 0.9em. Then, remove all margin, padding, and list styling." What I use is: font-size: 0.9em; but it doesn't allow me to progress anyway. What am I doing wrong?

css/main.css
a {
  text-decoration: none;
}

.contact-info ul {
  font-size: 0.9em;
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
}

#wrapper {
  max-width: 940px;
  margin: 0 auto;
}

#logo {
  text-align: center;
  margin: 0;
}

h1, h2 {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a {
  color: #fff;
}

nav a:hover {
  color: #32673f;
}

h1 {
  font-family: Changa One, sans-serif;
  font-size: 1.75em;
  font-weight: normal;
}

img {
  max-width: 100%;
}

#gallery {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  list-style: none;
}

#gallery li {
  float: left;
  width: 45%;
  margin: 2.5%;
  background-color: #f5f5f5;
  color: #bdc3c7;
}

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin: 0 10px;
  padding: 0;
}

nav li {
  display: inline-block;
}

nav a {
  font-weight: 800;
  padding: 15px 10px;
}

.profile-photo {
  display: block;
  margin: 0 auto 30px;
      max-width: 150px;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

it worked! thanks a lot

You're selecting the <ul> child element of the class contact-info with .contact-info ul. Try changing that to ul.contact-info. Not 100% sure that that will work, but it might.

The class "contact-info" is already applied to the unordered list in the HTML. You must remove the 'ul' from your class declaration. When you style the "contact info" class, it will be applied to the unordered list without the 'ul' in the CSS file, because in the HTML. When the instructions say, "the unordered list with the class, "contact-info," that means the class has been added in the HTML file, even though the challenge does not show it. So you can style that class here in the CSS file without typing the 'ul' the class is applied to.
